Medical treatment of anaphylaxis (original) (raw)

The consensus guidelines for the emergency medical treatment of anaphylaxis emphasize the critical role of immediate treatment with oxygen, adrenaline (epinephrine), and fluids. Recent insights suggest a preference for intramuscular adrenaline administration instead of subcutaneous, while also advocating for the reassessment of intravenous adrenaline use in emergency settings. The paper highlights the need for careful monitoring and appropriate dosing of intravenous adrenaline in severe anaphylactic cases, arguing for its effective use in the intensive care and emergency department settings.
